ONCplus B.11.31.18 Release Notes (762806-002, June 2014)

HPUX_ACLS and SYSV_ACLS. HPUX_ACLS are non-POSIX compliant. SYSV_ACLS are POSIX
compliant. This version of CacheFS supports caching for only SYSV_ACLS. Thus, this version
of CacheFS on HP-UX supports ACLs with VxFS and NFS and not with HFS.
• Support for Logging
A new command, cachefslog enables or disables logging for a CacheFS mount-point. If
logging functionality is enabled, details about the operations performed on the CacheFS
mount-point are stored in a logfile. This logfile contains information on all the CacheFS mount
points using the same cache directory. Use the cachefswssize command to display the
amount of space taken by each of the filesystems in the same cache and the total size occupied
by the cache directory (also known as the working set size). This command uses the logfile
created by the cachefslog command to display the information. The cachefswssize
command, used with the -a option, displays the information in ASCII format.
New NIS features in ONCplus B.11.31.02
NIS introduces the following features:
• Support for IPv6 Protocol
The NIS clients and servers are now IPv6 enabled. Therefore, you can set up an NIS master
server, an NIS slave server, or an NIS client that can be identified using an IPv6 address. The
IPv6 information is stored in ipnodes, which are supersets of hosts that act as the new databases
for IPv6 information.
• Support for Resolving Map Nicknames
NIS supports the creation of nicknames for maps. You can create or update the nicknames
associated with the maps. The ypcat and ypmatch commands use the /var/yp/nicknames
file to resolve or modify nicknames.
• Support for NIS ypbind v3 Protocol
The NIS client supports version 3 of the ypbind protocol. Version 1 of the ypbind protocol
is obsolete and any request from an NIS client to ypbind version 1 is rejected.
• Reduced Usage of Reserved Ports
Reserved ports are the ports from 0 to 1024. Only root users can bind to these ports. In
previous releases, NIS commands attempted to bind to reserved ports by default. If there are
numerous client requests, all the reserved ports can be consumed. This version of NIS enables
binding to reserved ports for select commands or daemons when accessing secure maps which
results in reduced usage of reserved ports by NIS. This change does not compromise
performance or security.
